I hate crutches, they make my armpits and shoulders both hurt. And I've almost fell down the stairs trying to navigate with them more than once.

Nice job!

In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

I’m not involved in GOT Lyn. I have surgery next week and will be missing in action fora week or so. I just reviewed Lilly’s contribution last night.

I have never been able to embroider, though I tried valiantly in youth - a lovely skill.
That's heartbreaking, your shrunken jumper gift -

In response to "Love "

There are different types of love. Her in the western colony we obsess with romantic/sexual love. The sex, however, must never be directly shown; we're cultural prudes.

Neruda wrote 100 sonnets for his future wife.

I mostly love (pine) from afar.

In response to "Love "

Hi, enger
I wonder how many sonnets Neruda wrote. She must have been quite a gal!
Love is such a complex concept. What is love? The oft asked question to which no one has an answer. Would it be to sacrifice oneself to save another? I can accept a parent might do that to save a child. However that reminds me of the time I caught my ten year old son poking a lighted stick into a jerry can of petrol. I screamed, “don’t do that!” And I ran from the garage! So much for a mother’s love.

Prompt: Scammers
What do you think about the scammers of today with all the media available to them? Do you think they only target the elderly or is everyone liable to fall for their scams? And should scamming be made a serious offense since most of it is a misdemeanor at this time?

The word Scam was one rarely used years ago. Of course there were always scammers but rarely would it be anything huge and certainly not to the extent of ripping off someone’s life savings. Perhaps at the most it would have been a snake oil sales man who sold a potion purporting to cure all ills, when of course it would be little more than coloured water.
No, today the scammers are people with no consciences. They care little for the devastation their actions cause, especially when they carry out romance scams which fool women and sometimes men into believing they are someone they’re not. They keep up the pretence for months, even years, until they make this person believe and trust them. Of course we all have heard of the terrible heartaches caused, the loss of life savings as well as being never able to trust anyone ever again.
The upshot of all this deception and lies is we as a people no longer trust. Having to be forever on guard and vigilant has hidden consequences and I don’t think we know yet the impact this will have on society. The banks have a lot to answer for in many cases and until they get punished for letting the scammers take money things won’t change. They insist we use on line banking whilst closing branches and then when there’s trouble they wash their hands of it.
